Best, H Original Message From: Doug Hattaway To: H Sent: Tue Oct 27 17:19:45 2009 Subject: Strategic Communications for Pakistan Hello Madame Secretary. I hope you have a productive trip to Pakistan. I wanted to let you know that Ambassador Haqqani asked me to submit a proposal to help the Government of Pakistan strengthen its communications with the Pakistani public. You may recall that my firm did similar hands-on work in Lebanon. The idea is to enhance the Government's internal capacity to raise public awareness of its accomplishments, build support for its policies, and demonstrate the benefits of democratic governance. With stronger communications, they'd obviously be in a better position to convey the benefits of the US-Pakistan relationship. We've followed Pakistani media coverage of Kerry-Lugar -- with more strategic communications management by the Government, that could have been a positive story. (The anti-American forces have used the same messages to attack US aid packages for at least 10 years. It was easy to see the attacks coming.) Communications help won't solve the immediate political crisis, but it could be one useful element of a larger strategic communications strategy.

Would you like me to meet with anyone to discuss this idea? I'm told Ashley Bommer is working on it. (I don't know her). By the way - we're making headway on our campaign for Global Women's Issues - hope to have more to report soon!
